Your First Car

How stupid of you. Since when Mustang drivers are <Snipped>? Care to explain your wisdom on the subject?

Since my first car back in 1996 was a Chevrolet Cavalier Z24, I guess your first car is pretty hot! Nice Mustang at 18.

Thanks man. I've waited 2 years to get my license (only on a learners permit still) and to get a car. It sucks being 18 and still having to rely on your mom to take you places. Once I get this car I'll finally get my real license and get a job to pay for it.

Have you seen the majority (like 95%+) of mustang drivers? They are all <Snipped> types. I wasnt calling that guy a <Snipped>. I like the car (well older models), but I hate the drivers...and not jealous or anything Edited by Anaron

I'm just going to say this: Almost all drivers are <Snipped>, they all believe they own the road. I'm not just saying this because I'm an owner of a Mustang. I'm saying that since it speaks the truth. I guess I should call all BMW drivers <Snipped> too because of that. See my point?

I bought a 1972 Datsun 510 new for $2700 when I got out of college. It was a great car, AKA "poor man's BMW". In 1981 I replaced the original 1.6L engine with the Datsun/Nissan L18 SSS 1.8L sport engine. That came with dual SU carbs like the 240Z. I had a custom cam made, shaved the head to raise the c/r, ported the intakes, and added a water-alcohol injection system from Edelbrock. That thing would kick.

I found a fuel injection intake manifold, but I never got around to rigging it up. I sold the car for $1000 in 1990 to a kid who wanted to restore it. I still miss it.

I still haven't got a car yet, but it looks like the first car I'll have driven will be a 2009 (59) Citroen C3 Picasso.

It's our new family car (we got it last Tuesday), and my dad's already given it a good runaround. He's already done about 500 miles in it so far, mostly due to taking me up to Thorpe Park for the Need for Speed Shift UK Finals. Did about 400 miles just from Friday and Saturday. :p

1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Bought it for $2900 in 2004, peeling tint and balding tires. 112,000 miles.

Drove for 3 years. I put a few listings up around on autotrader and ebay and right after it didn't sell the first round, i got dominated at a stoplight.

Not at my own fault, but we lost money on the insurance. KBB valued the car with 155,000 miles for $1900, I had it listed for $3999(~140,000 miles).

Anyway, i got a 1997 Toyota Tacoma V6 manual 5spd 4WD for a few years, then sold it for $7000 (bought for $4200) and now i'm rolling in a 2005 Honda Civic EX coupe($12,000 - 33,000 miles). next car is definitely going to be 2009 honda accord, i'm a junior at university now so hopefully once i graduate.

I bought a 1991 Subaru Liberty GX, auto, ($3000) but the second time I took it out we heard a rattling noise coming from under the car, turned out the oil pump broke and the car yard wouldn't refund out money, they only gave us credit at their yard.

So I now drive a 1998 Mazda 323 Astina. ($6,500)

    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.
    • Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
